Answer:

74.86% probability that a component is at least 12 centimeters long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 14

Variance is 9.

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

So

\sigma = \sqrt{9} = 3

Calculate the probability that a component is at least 12 centimeters long.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 12. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{12 - 14}{3}

Z = -0.67

Z = -0.67 has a pvalue of 0.2514.

1-0.2514 = 0.7486

74.86% probability that a component is at least 12 centimeters long.

Line MN passes through points M(4, 3) and N(7, 12). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b,
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

b = -9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through (4, 3) and (7, 12). First, we need to find the slope: the rise over the run.

(12 - 3) / (7 - 4) = 9 / 3 = 3.

Now that we have the slope, we can say that m = 3. So, we have an equation of y = 3x + b. To find b, we can use M(4, 3) and say that y = 3 and x = 4.

3 = 3 * 4 + b

b + 12 = 3

b = -9.

Hope this helps!
